The results of the survey show that men in the percentage of 33,4 % represented a minority of respondents, even when comparing individual age categories. Another finding was that people with tertiary education make up, with a score of 59,5 %, a substantial part of the alpine population.

RQ no.1 How do the role of a social worker and the methods used within social work differ while supporting the user transferring towards independent living and its implementation in relation to the utilized living model of people suffering from physical and combined handicaps? RQ no.2 What do positive contributions and subjectively perceived disadvantages of individual models and ways of independent living of people suffering from physical and combined handicap rely in? RQ no.3 In what way and using what organisational and personnel requirements and what legal frame are ´unconventional´ ways of living of people suffering from physical and combined handicap implemented in comparison to usual and mostly used forms?

A family caring for an adult child with a mental disability
KOUBKOVÁ, Anna
This bachelor thesis is focused on the problematics of families who raised and are caring for an adult child with a mental disability. This work aims to lay out how parents look at the situations in their family, in what aspect their lives are either limited or enriched, whether they perceive any changes in the methods of care for their offspring and how they reflect at them. The work also focuses on the resources from which the parents draw strength to overcome the difficulties tied to raising of their offspring, and the support they receive. The theoretical part describes the categorization of people with a mental disability and how the mental disability of a child influences the situation of the family. Furthermore, it establishes the meaning of core terms used throughout the work. Qualitative research has been conducted, and it consists of forms of half-structured dialogues with six parents (out of four families) who are taking care of an adult person with a mental disability. Many changes and limitations have been found in families due to the presence of a child with a disability. Parents perceive several negatives associated with caring for a disabled child, which directly result from the nature of the disability, as well as some benefits. The presence of a mentally handicapped child was not found to affect the parents' partnership. Furthermore, it was found that an important factor for coping with difficult situations resulting from care is the support of various types that parents receive and that parents cope with difficult situations in specific ways. Research shows that parents are very worried about their child's future.
